Must be all those lazy millennials and zoomers not wanting to work for the shitty tips that boomers give, right? You drove up in a luxury SUV and you think 10% is enough?

Here’s a tip
😂 I can’t put enough spit in your to-go tea to thank you!

Anonymous said...

8:05 - you must be one of those entitled millennials who's unqualified to be a server and has never seen a tip north of 10%. I'm a boomer, my friends and family are boomers and none of us has left a tip of less than 20% in 20 years. After a while, maybe you should realize the problem is you, not us.

@8:05 AM, you must be one of those folks that think you're entitled to a 20% tip regardless of the quality of service. The amount of a wait person's tip should be commensurate with the level of service they provide. I guess that's a concept you don't understand.

Last time my wife and I went there no one was wearing a mask. Nobody cares. It's all performative and appeasement.

i would be hard pressed to stay in jackson if i owned a business that needed clean water.

I ate at a Cracker Barrel in the Fall of 2008. It was so "good" I haven't been to one since.

Only Crackers eat at Cracker Barrel.

Sales tax revenue is so overrated when you can just ask the State or Federal government for money. Same goes for water bill payments. If it's never your fault, it's never your responsibility.

9:22 All the more reason to go

Anonymous said...

I would like to see some evidence that 8:05 can calculate 10% of the total bill.

Seems like all the restaurants dependent on the Jackson non-water system would have to close. How are all these restaurants washing their dishes, pots and pans etc without potable water?

And I'm old enough to remember when the standard tip for good service was 10%. Then it just went up to 15% without anyone having voted on it. Now it has gone up to 20%, again, without the advice or consent of those expected to pay it.

Who cares? Anyone still eating food served in Jackson is an idiot asking for an intestinal parasite. They may have bottled water to drink, but are they taking the dishes to Rankin County to wash them? Don’t think so. And parasites will grow in filter media that has become overloaded with biological contamination such as Jackson. Yum yum!

Buying Cracker Barrel (CBRL) food is like buying naked stent calls, and planning to take delivery!

I haven’t been to that Cracker Barrel in a couple of years but liked it when I went. The problem is with the area. All the restaurants have closed on that corner as it and the county line road exit are a hub for the homeless and crime. There is no place in Jackson that is so special that I would put up with all the issues.

Kingfish said...

I drive by there several times a day. The business has been way off since the 2020 shutdown. Place used to be packed and it's not like it's expensive. Its been rare that I see a full parking lot there anymore.

CB is future home of water distribution site and parking for Richard’s garbage trucks in the most radical city on the planet. No water, no customers, no profit, no businesses, no more taxes paid to COJ! Dems just can’t connect the dots.

Thanks Lafumble fer your piss poor leadership!

This is the last straw! I'm going to go stay in my condo at Seaside for a month. You people need to fix this mess before I get back. I have had enough!!

Stuff About ZeroBear PolyBear said...

No WA WA at Honkey Bucket?

"I ain't serving them Crackers."

"Messes up my other check."

"Tired of spitting in the Tater Casserole."

"Sick of making biscuits all the day long."

"If they wanted me here, they should have never arrested my Baby for car theft on the lot."

"Going to Florida with the Mayor. Put me down as sick for two weeks."

What other reasons?

Dang it!! Now where am I going to buy my cloth checkered board set?!?!

Anonymous said...

I told some elder relatives there before Covid and the homeless were unpleasant, to put it mildly.
And not at all interested in a free meal. Cash only.

I have not been back. Food was always fine for a chain, but the car thefts and now water with all the other negatives are not at all worth the trip.

Goodbye Cracker Barrell. You must go the way of Outback and Twin Peaks. The last decent strip of interstate highway through the most radical city is done. Dump hotels with violence, prostitution and drugs remain. From Mercedes of Jackson to buy-here pay-here easy credit junk car lots. Yes, Jackson is fallen. Third world. A giant, dangerous, degenerate slum of feral illegitimates unbound by any rule of law, impoverished and filthy. Just like they like it.

I went to CB a few months ago after fasting for a medical procedure. Couldn’t wait for their breakfast which is always great. Only a few cars were in the parking lot and I knew something was wrong. When we sat down the waitress informed us that they couldn’t make coffee due to the boil water notice. The staff looked incredibly sad. Breakfast without coffee isn’t breakfast so we left.This was not the staffs fault or the business just poor leadership in Jackson. BTW: I’m also a boomer and tip at least 20% for good service .Ask a waiter at any top end restaurant who is the best tippers and who is the worst.

Too many other safer breakfast type options closer to where people work.

I-55 frontage is terrible. Homeless people, hotels with drugs and prostitution, etc. One small area around Highland Village is okay. You are not safe at Banner Hall.

When Jackson can't support a Hooters or Twin Peaks...

That area has one-stop shopping:

Hookers
Drugs
Stolen guns
Fences
Hit men
Low water pressure
Non-potable water
Professional Beggars (who demand money, not food)

What could go wrong?

2:10 is unfortunately correct, and it is a bad look for the state's capital. Don't stop with the water plant, Mississippi, take the whole town over from these degenerates!

Well 8:05.....

That is why I always tip 20% or more, because I'm sure your mom & dad figure
that since you're 33 yrs old, its time you move away from home!

@ 2:10 You nailed it !

I like Cracker Barrel. Been to this location many times, people always nice. I hope they can reopen.

Im a breakfast guy. Bring my lunch. I usually head straight to Broad St(ALWAYS GOOD) but every now and then I will throw in Primos(Always good) Waffle House..because it’s the HOUSE and waffles are great. Would include Cracker Barrel from time to time, also. Different items there are a welcome change. Also the deli at Corner Market in Maywood is a quick and tasty early repast. Bagel? Try The Beagle. OR STAY AT HOME AND EAT CORN FLAKES IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SUPPORT LOCAL FOLKS!

Anonymous said...

Listen to 4:58 guys.

How dare you have an opinion?
If you have expectations and don't want to blindly support the new local administration (or restaurants)...stay home/get lost!

That is basically what the leaders of Jackson said to NE Jxn property owners when crime spiraled, streets were in disrepair and taxes increased regularly.

I listened and left.

Enjoy the folks that stayed, 4:58.

Your crowd told us to shut up or leave, so we did.

Wrong. Highland Village is NOT safe! Don’t be confused. Car theft, car break ins, homeless are always pandering around the parking lot from frontage road. Near Char has almost daily car issues like windows being broken out and theft. Most locally
owned businesses in HV are just waiting out their lease before they move out. Stay out of Jxn and that includes HV. Also…. Maywood mart is a crime infested ghost town. So many empty stores. Unbelievable how the mayor has allowed a once great city to implode.

Last time I ate at that CB was last fall.
I didn’t realize they served booze there.
I had never saw that at any CB before.
So, I had a sip…

Echo all the sentiments of Jackson's current state.

(Biz owner in Jxn going on 40+ years...still here - but just bidding time)

It's like the Twilight Zone.... TOTALLY TOTALLY SUX!

Well, if a great breakfast place opens up somewhere strategic, business should be booming! Oh - wait, questionable water until further notice...dangit!

Good God, Jackson is literally a swirling toilet bowl.

I began boycotting Cracker Barrel several years ago because I find their name "cracker" highly offense and racist. Not really, the food sucked.

Looks like Cracker Barrel Jackson closed for good. No signs reopening.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
